Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the Energy Minister, has called on members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to put in diligent effort by engaging in nationwide party mobilization to secure a third victory over the National Democratic Congres (NDC) and its candidate, John Mahama.

The Minister's rationale behind this appeal is rooted in his belief that John Mahama's track record offers little to benefit the Ghanaian populace. He emphasized that none of the NPP flagbearer aspirants have previously served as President, unlike former President Mahama, who has a dismal track record.

Dr. Prempeh made these remarks during a meeting with delegates from his Manhyia South constituency on Friday, October 27, 2023, in preparation for the NPP Flagbearer elections scheduled for the following day.

He acknowledged that the challenging global economic situation has resulted in governments facing declining popularity, which the NPP has not been immune to.

Dr. Prempeh urged NPP members to convey the party's accomplishments to Ghanaians, especially in light of these adverse conditions, in contrast to the NDC's track record, which did not have to contend with similar external shocks.

“We have to let the Ghanaian people know that, we haven’t made their lives all-rosy, we admit there are difficulties, but we are fixing the challenges.

Another opportunity to continue the work we doing is better than giving a man whose ambition is just to complete his second term to equal the record of his predecessors,” he said.

The Member of Parliament for Manhyia South encouraged the delegates of Manhyia South to regard the upcoming event on November 4, 2023, as an internal party exercise. He emphasized the importance of conducting the exercise without animosity, discord, or antagonism among party members.

“After the Presidential Primaries, we must come together, work together, hold together and defeat the NDC again,” he said.
